#AI is at the point where communism was when Bolševism was turning into Stalinism.
However you build a network, there’s always going to be one node that’s more powerful, and people want find that node and build further power around that node, giving them a central point of control.
And people are bummed out. Nobody wants to live in a society where your role is to be like a good pet.

While the #EU explores fairer #Copyright & #Web3 models for creators, Trump-aligned billionaire Bill Ackman is trying to expand his influence over global #music #infrastructure via #UniversalMusic Group.
The same techno -libertarian #networks around #Musk, #PeterThiel & #Ackman increasingly shape #media, #platforms and #culture.
